Line 6:
There are multiple groups inside the collective: MellowHype (rapper Hodgy Beats and producer Left Brain); EarlWolf (Earl Sweatshirt and Tyler, the Creator); The Jet Age of Tomorrow (producers Matt Martians and Hal Williams); The Internet (Syd tha Kyd and Matt Martians); The Super 3 (Matt Martians and others, see below) and I Smell Panties (Jasper Dolphin and Tyler, the Creator). The group's net-based promotion has also produced a staggering amount of individual tracks, including an R&B parody song called "Love in Da Mall" by T.T.D.D. (Tyler, Taco, DeVon and Domo Genesis) and a parody of Lil B by Young Nigga ({{spoiler|aka Tyler in a wig}}) called "Come Threw Looking Clean".
They have garnered a cult following and have been receiving steady press from blogs as well as magazines. Tyler recently won the 2011 MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist (for his viral "Yonkers" video) and Frank Ocean snagged a few hooks on [[Kanye West]]'s and [[Jay
Because of the sprawling nature of this [[Troperiffic]] group, we've split up each artist and group within the collective into manageable entries below.
Line 91:
* [[Nice Hat]]: His oft-referenced green Supreme hat.
* [[Obsession Song]]: "Her". His song "Sarah" a [[Abduction Is Love|very]] [[Berserk Button|grim]] [[Date Rape|version]] [[I Love the Dead|of]] [[I'm a Humanitarian|this]].
* [[One of Us]]: Tyler, the Creator is a huge fan of [[Cartoon Network]], and has specifically cited ''[[
** He also referenced ''[[Max
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Tyler, the Creator's father left before he was born.
* [[Piss-Take Rap]]: His work as part of I Smell Panties (granted, it's a comedy rap group) and any track where Taco or Jasper show up with him.
Line 109:
* [[Refuge in Vulgarity]]: Especially when paired with Earl and Jasper.
* [[The Reveal]]: Fans have known explicitly that Wolf Haley is an alter ego of Tyler, but the true reveal is at the end of his song "Golden": {{spoiler|Dr. TC, in an attempt to calm Tyler after Wolf Haley forced him to kill all of his friends, tells him that ''TC is Wolf Haley'' as well as Tron Cat, the voice giving Tyler evil thoughts.}}
* [[Rhyming
{{quote| "Whether you [[N-Word Privileges|nigga]] or esé<br />
The [Odd Future] magazine is great because the article's an essay<br />
Line 133:
* [[Take That, Critics!]]: Tyler is exceptionally vocal about hip hop blogs 2DopeBoyz and Nah Right not supporting Odd Future early on, but the ''opening seconds'' of his album ''Bastard'' really takes the cake:
{{quote| "Yo, fuck 2DopeBoyz and fuck Nah Right and any other fuck-nigga-ass blog that can't put an 18 year old nigga making his own fucking beats, covers, videos and all that shit; fuck you post-[[Drake]]-ass cliche-jerking, [[Hipster|LA-slauson]] rapping fuck-nigga-ass Hypebeast niggas, now back to the album."}}
* [[Tomato in
* [[Unperson]]: On the one-year anniversary of ''Bastard'''s release, brandUn DeShay's verse on "Session" was replaced with one by Mike G, since Tyler and DeShay fell out with each other.
* [[Unplugged Version]]: "Yonkers" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uPBTEy9oOw on piano.]
Line 159:
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: Early on, Hodgy was [[The Stoner]]. After hooking up with Left Brain, his delivery grew more aggressive and moved towards more gangsta rap topics such as money, police and illicit substances.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: On Domo Genesis' "[[Steam Roller]]": "Weed, you got it, I want it, I want it if you got weed."
* [[One of Us]]: "Memorex CDs" samples a song from ''[[
* [[Piss-Take Rap]]: His songs performed under the name of Young Swag.
* [[Rock Me, Asmodeus]]: Employed liberally in later works.
Line 184:
* [[Record Producer]]: Left Brain focuses mainly on producing and leaves Hodgy to appear in the press. He has produced not only for Hodgy and MellowHype, but for other members in the group.
* [[Rock Me, Asmodeus]]: To the point that the re-issue cover of ''BlackenedWhite'' is an upside-down cross.
* [[Shout-Out]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWMOEVdXR2o "64"] has shout outs to ''[[
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: ''BlackenedWhite'' was originally released online on October 31st, 2010, but a remastered version with a new cover was released on July 12, 2011. The tracklist was changed, notably removing the songs with Earl Sweatshirt [[Executive Meddling|due to his mother]] not signing release forms for his verses to be used.
* [[White Mask of Doom]]: [[The Ring]] girl in MellowHype's video for "64."
Line 227:
'''Frank Ocean'''
Ocean is an R&B singer-songwriter originally from Louisiana who began writing music professionally in 2005 under his birth name of Christopher Breaux (aka Lonny Breaux.) His records focus mainly on interpersonal relationships, personal reflection and social commentary. He met Odd Future and Tricky Stewart in 2009 through his business connections, the latter of which got him signed to Def Jam. When Def Jam would not release ''nostalgia, ULTRA.'', he released it as part of Odd Future's label online, generating considerable interest in Ocean's talents. Some of his clients include [[Kanye West]] and [[Jay-Z]] (who featured him on their collab album ''Watch the Throne''), [[Beyonce]] (whose song "I Miss You" was written by him), [[
=== Discography: ===
Line 237:
* [[The Cameo]]: Appears at the end of Domo Genesis' "Steam Roller".
* [[Let's Just Be Friends]]: His ''newly married wife'' pulls this on him in "American Wedding".
* [[One of Us]]: ''nostalgia, ULTRA.'''s interludes are named after ''[[Street Fighter]]'', ''[[Metal Gear Solid]]'', ''[[
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: Frank Ocean's ''nostaglia, ULTRA.'' will be re-released as ''nostalgia, LITE.'', as several of the sampled songs (notably the [[Eagles]]' "Hotel California") could not be cleared. [[Executive Meddling|If it gets released.]]
Line 275:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Mike G is nearly always spaced out. One interviewer from Shade 45 had to ask if he was okay.
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: "Stick Up" is a thoroughly serious heist narrative until Taco appears out of nowhere and accidentally walks in the path of Mike's bullet.
* [[One of Us]]: Mike G, like Tyler, is a fan of [[Cartoon Network]] and has referenced ''[[
* [[The Stoner]]: Just listen to his voice.
Line 302:
* [[Surprisingly Gentle Song]]
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: ''The Super D3Shay EP'' was re-released as ''The Super 3 Instrumentals'', [[Unperson|removing all of brandUn DeShay's contributions]] since he fell out with the rest of the group.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made
----
Line 314:
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: During Tyler's "Tina", Jasper is in the mall and the club simulatneously. Taco is "with your girlfriend eating chips" and manages to prove so directly afterward.
* [[Refuge in Vulgarity]]: Especially when paired with Tyler and Earl.
* [[Rhyming
{{quote| "I'm loud as fuck, I'm ignorant<br />
Beat your bitch in her mouth just for talkin' shit<br />
Line 381:
** As well as KILL PEOPLE BURN SHIT FUCK SCHOOL, which is chanted at their concerts.
* [[Circus of Fear]]: Used early on as part of their imagery.
* [[Cowboy Bebop
{{quote| '''Tyler, from "Goblin"''': "'Oh that's a triple three six, isn't he a devil worshipper 'cause I'm too fuckin' ignorant to do some research?"}}
* [[Fun
* [[Genre Shift]]: While most of the publicly known group raps, Frank Ocean is an R&B singer. His lyrics are extremely heartfelt. Additionally, The Jet Age of Tomorrow and The Internet are far more psychedelic and less profane (when there's even lyrics) than the rest of the group's output.
* [[Horrorcore]]: Odd Future have dismissed this label in multiple tweets and songs.
